Re: My new boat!
We stripped it down as creative people can't leave anything alone.
Boat:
Gonna replace the wood in the seats w/ wood that goes all the way across and probably put a storage locker in the center. Gonna replace the wood in transom. Gonna replace the transom caps as one was made from roadsign and JB weld and the other is somewhat pitted. Gonna fix the sloppy patch on the broken gunnel and make it look intentional as opposed to a patch. Gonna get all the carpet glue out. There were a whole bunch old steel rivits and screws running through the hulls and seats where stuff used to be attached to. Gonna replace those w/ aluminum marine rivits. ( where do I get the ones w/o the holes in them?)Gonna do this and gonna do that.
Trailer: New tires, New wiring, fix bearings, torch off a whole bunch of unneeded steel including the winch post that is made of signpost. ( DMV may have unknowingly contribluted to this boat. Transom cap and bow post made of signpole.) Install better winch post, Install new tongue as other is bent all to ell and back. Change the pesky 1 7/8" coupler to 2" to avoid trouble.Put new winch on.
All this is before we take it to the water. Knowing us it will always be changed + improved.
